Abstract

This study investigated how Vocabulary Mastery (VM) and Metacognitive Reading Strategies (MRS) worked together to shape students’ Critical Reading Ability (CRA) in an EFL setting—a relationship that had rarely been examined in combination. Critical reading was widely acknowledged as essential for academic success, yet many learners still faced difficulties due to limited lexical knowledge and the lack of strategic awareness needed to manage their reading processes. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were obtained from 30 ninth-grade students through a vocabulary test, the MARSI questionnaire, and a critical reading test. All instruments had undergone expert validation, pilot testing, and reliability checks. The descriptive findings showed that students demonstrated moderate levels of vocabulary mastery, metacognitive strategy use, and critical reading skills. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships among the variables, with MRS showing the strongest association with CRA (r = 0.89). Regression results indicated that the overall model significantly predicted critical reading performance (R² = 0.811, p 0.001). While vocabulary mastery contributed to understanding, it did not remain a significant predictor when paired with metacognitive strategies. These findings suggested that strategic self-regulation played a more crucial role in enabling learners to interpret, evaluate, and respond critically to texts.

Abstract

This study explores the strategies employed by English teachers to foster reading habits among eighth-grade students and examines the challenges they encounter during the teaching and learning process. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and teacher questionnaires. The findings revealed that teachers implemented four main strategies to promote students’ reading habits: reading aloud, guided reading, silent reading, and providing motivation and vocabulary support. These strategies were applied adaptively, depending on students’ proficiency levels and classroom conditions. Despite their effectiveness in encouraging participation and improving engagement, teachers faced several obstacles, including students’ limited vocabulary, low motivation, inadequate learning media, and time constraints caused by curriculum demands. The study concludes that fostering reading habits requires not only creative and consistent teacher efforts but also strong collaboration among schools, families, and communities to provide a supportive reading environment.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of female leadership in The Old Guard 2 throughthe character of Andromache of Scythia. Although recent scholarship highlightsincreased visibility of women leaders in action cinema, many portrayals remainnarratively marginal or symbolically constrained. Addressing this gap, the studyemploys a qualitative descriptive–interpretative design grounded in textual analysisand Stuart Hall’s constructionist theory of representation, complemented bycontemporary female leadership frameworks. Data were analyzed through systematicscene-based examination of visual and verbal signs related to authority, ethics,relationality, and collective action. The findings demonstrate that Andromache’sleadership is constructed as legitimate, ethical, relational, and enduring, independentof physical dominance. Female authority is normalized through narrative recognition,emotional competence, and collective orientation. The study concludes that The OldGuard 2 offers a progressive representation of female leadership that challengesconventional gendered norms in action cinema.

Abstract

National leaders' political apologies are essential for rebuilding public confidence, mending diplomatic relationships, and rewriting history. However, rigorous assessments of apologies made particularly by political leaders are still few, and the majority of extant literature concentrates on apologetic tactics in broad communication settings—such as interpersonal contacts, media discourse, or institutional pronouncements. Furthermore, there is a significant vacuum in the research since few studies examine how linguistic framing affects the perceived sincerity, responsibility, and political effect of these apologies across various national settings. By analyzing how political leaders create apologies through word selections, framing techniques, and rhetorical appeals, this study fills up these gaps. The study examines apology writings by various political personalities in response to historical injustices and national crises using a qualitative discourse-analytic method. The results highlight the intricate role of language in negotiating accountability during times of public scrutiny by showing how political apologies strategically combine responsibility-taking, emotional alignment, and future-oriented commitments to shape public perception and minimize political risk.

Abstract

School and classroom are not merely educational spaces but act as dynamic arenas where social structures are reproduced and contested. While schools are expected to promote equality, sociological perspectives reveal their latent role in sustaining social inequalities. This study aims to explore how classrooms function as sites of social integration, reproduction of inequality, and identity formation. Using a qualitative library research method, this paper analyzes theories from Durkheim, Bourdieu, Foucault, Mead, and others to examine classroom dynamics. Findings show that education often legitimizes dominant cultural capital, perpetuates labeling practices, and imposes subtle disciplinary power. Classrooms become microcosms of society where power, norms, and ideologies are constructed and negotiated. The study concludes that critical awareness among educators and policymakers is vital to transform classrooms into inclusive and democratic spaces. Future studies should empirically investigate strategies that resist structural inequality within educational institutions.

Abstract

Many seventh-grade students struggle with speaking skills due to limited linguistic knowledge and speaking anxiety, despite the expectations of the Merdeka Curriculum for junior high school learners to communicate effectively in English. To address these challenges, group work is often recommended as a strategy to reduce anxiety and increase student participation. However, most previous studies were conducted at higher education levels, leaving limited evidence for younger learners. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether group work significantly improves the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 18 Palu. A quasi-experimental design was used, involving two intact classes of 28 students each. Both groups completed a pre-test and post-test consisting of three oral questions assessing fluency and comprehensibility. The treatment will be administered over six sessions, from the second to the seventh meeting. The experimental group will use the group work technique, while the control group will receive conventional instruction. The data were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U Test because the scores were not normally distributed. The findings showed that although both groups demonstrated increased mean scores from pre-test to post-test, the significance value (p = 0.113) exceeded the 0.05 threshold. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) was accepted, indicating that group work did not produce a statistically significant improvement in students’ speaking skills. These results suggest that group work may require longer implementation or additional support to yield stronger effects for junior high school learners.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of transformational leadership and principal motivation on teacher performance at SDN 31 Bathin Solapan. The problem in this study is based on field findings that teacher performance is still not optimal, which is indicated by the lack of innovation in learning, low discipline in compiling teaching materials, and minimal teacher involvement in professional development activities. This study uses a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques use questionnaires and observations. The sample in this study amounted to 15 teachers, with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that: (1) transformational leadership has a significant effect on teacher performance, with a significance value of 0.001 0.05 and tcount ttable (8.077 2.703); (2) principal motivation also has a significant effect on teacher performance with a significance value of 0.001 0.05 and tcount ttable (8.841 2.703); (3) Simultaneously, transformational leadership and principal motivation have a significant effect on teacher performance with a significance value of 0.000 0.05 and Fcount Ftable (7.405 3.89). Thus, it can be concluded that the higher the quality of transformational leadership and principal motivation, the better the teacher performance at SDN 31 Bathin Solapan

Abstract

Vocabulary is a fundamental component in English language learning, yet many students still struggle to enrich their vocabulary due to limited contextual learning in formal instruction. With the rise of digital platforms, TikTok and movies have become popular sources of authentic language input, though their effectiveness has rarely been compared directly. This study investigates students’ perceptions of TikTok and movies in vocabulary acquisition. Employing a qualitative case study, data were collected from 25 eleventh-grade students at MAN 1 Kabupaten Semarang through questionnaires combining Likert-scale items and open-ended questions. Findings reveal that while TikTok offers short, engaging, and easily accessible content, its effectiveness is often hindered by distractions and lack of contextual depth. In contrast, movies provide richer vocabulary exposure, contextualized usage, and higher retention, leading students to perceive them as more effective for vocabulary learning. The study concludes that movies serve as a more reliable medium for enhancing vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

Language in political campaign posters is increasingly significant as a medium for expressing public resistance and shaping socio-political meaning. This research explores verbal signs in the Brave Pink and Hero Green campaign posters that emerge from the large-scale Indonesian demonstrations in August 2025. During this period, public support for the movement widely appears on social media, not only through the replacement of profile pictures with Brave Pink and Hero Green template, but also through the creation of digital resistance posters. These posters function as a medium for expressing opposition and solidarity through textual elements. Focusing on captions, slogans, and short verbal expressions, this research applies a qualitative descriptive approach. The analysis begins with a descriptive examination of textual elements and proceeds with their classification into Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic categories of icon, index, and symbol. The findings indicate that verbal signs play a central role in constructing meanings of resistance within digital campaign media.
